Psalms 119
1 ALEPH. Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.
Alleluja. Beati immaculati in via, qui ambulant in lege Domini.
2 Blessed are those who keep his decrees, who seek him with their whole heart.
Beati qui scrutantur testimonia ejus; in toto corde exquirunt eum.
3 Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.
Non enim qui operantur iniquitatem in viis ejus ambulaverunt.
4 You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them.
Tu mandasti mandata tua custodiri nimis.
5 Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes.
Utinam dirigantur viæ meæ ad custodiendas justificationes tuas.
6 Then I wouldn't be disappointed, when I consider all of your commandments.
Tunc non confundar, cum perspexero in omnibus mandatis tuis.
7 I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, when I learn your righteous judgments.
Confitebor tibi in directione cordis, in eo quod didici judicia justitiæ tuæ.
8 I will observe your statutes. Do not utterly forsake me.
Justificationes tuas custodiam; non me derelinquas usquequaque.
9 BET. How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.
In quo corrigit adolescentior viam suam? in custodiendo sermones tuos.
10 With my whole heart, I have sought you. Do not let me wander from your commandments.
In toto corde meo exquisivi te; ne repellas me a mandatis tuis.
11 In my heart I have hidden your word, that I might not sin against you.
In corde meo abscondi eloquia tua, ut non peccem tibi.
12 Blessed are you, LORD. Teach me your statutes.
Benedictus es, Domine; doce me justificationes tuas.
13 With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.
In labiis meis pronuntiavi omnia judicia oris tui.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches.
In via testimoniorum tuorum delectatus sum, sicut in omnibus divitiis.

17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word.
Retribue servo tuo, vivifica me, et custodiam sermones tuos.
18 Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your Law.
Revela oculos meos, et considerabo mirabilia de lege tua.
19 I am a stranger on the earth. Do not hide your commandments from me.
Incola ego sum in terra: non abscondas a me mandata tua.
20 My soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all times.
Concupivit anima mea desiderare justificationes tuas in omni tempore.
21 You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who wander from your commandments.
Increpasti superbos; maledicti qui declinant a mandatis tuis.
22 Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I have kept your statutes.
Aufer a me opprobrium et contemptum, quia testimonia tua exquisivi.
23 Though princes sit and slander me, your servant will meditate on your statutes.
Etenim sederunt principes, et adversum me loquebantur; servus autem tuus exercebatur in justificationibus tuis.
24 Indeed your statutes are my delight, and my counselors.
Nam et testimonia tua meditatio mea est, et consilium meum justificationes tuæ.
25 DALET. My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according to your word.

Viam mandatorum tuorum cucurri, cum dilatasti cor meum.
33 HEY Teach me, LORD, the way of your statutes. I will keep them to the end.
Legem pone mihi, Domine, viam justificationum tuarum, et exquiram eam semper.

Amputa opprobrium meum quod suspicatus sum, quia judicia tua jucunda.
40 Look, I long for your precepts. Revive me in your righteousness.
Ecce concupivi mandata tua: in æquitate tua vivifica me.
41 WAW. Let your loving kindness also come to me, LORD, your salvation, according to your word.
Et veniat super me misericordia tua, Domine; salutare tuum secundum eloquium tuum.
42 So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in your word.
Et respondebo exprobrantibus mihi verbum, quia speravi in sermonibus tuis.
43 Do not snatch the word of truth out of my mouth, for I put my hope in your ordinances.
Et ne auferas de ore meo verbum veritatis usquequaque, quia in judiciis tuis supersperavi.
44 So I will obey your Law continually, forever and ever.
Et custodiam legem tuam semper, in sæculum et in sæculum sæculi.
45 I will walk in liberty, for I have sought your precepts.
Et ambulabam in latitudine, quia mandata tua exquisivi.
46 I will also speak of your statutes before kings, and will not be disappointed.

50 This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me.
Hæc me consolata est in humilitate mea, quia eloquium tuum vivificavit me.
51 The arrogant mock me excessively, but I do not swerve from your Law.
Superbi inique agebant usquequaque; a lege autem tua non declinavi.
52 I remember your ordinances of old, LORD, and have comforted myself.
Memor fui judiciorum tuorum a sæculo, Domine, et consolatus sum.
53 Indignation has taken hold on me, because of the wicked who forsake your Law.
Defectio tenuit me, pro peccatoribus derelinquentibus legem tuam.
54 Your statutes have been my songs, in the house where I live.
Cantabiles mihi erant justificationes tuæ in loco peregrinationis meæ.
55 I have remembered your name, LORD, in the night, and I obey your Law.
Memor fui nocte nominis tui, Domine, et custodivi legem tuam.
56 This is my way, that I keep your precepts.
Hæc facta est mihi, quia justificationes tuas exquisivi.

Bonitatem fecisti cum servo tuo, Domine, secundum verbum tuum.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.

Priusquam humiliarer ego deliqui: propterea eloquium tuum custodivi.
68 You are good, and do good. Teach me your statutes.
Bonus es tu, et in bonitate tua doce me justificationes tuas.
69 The proud have smeared a lie upon me. With my whole heart, I will keep your precepts.
Multiplicata est super me iniquitas superborum; ego autem in toto corde meo scrutabor mandata tua.
70 Their heart is as callous as the fat, but I delight in your Law.
Coagulatum est sicut lac cor eorum; ego vero legem tuam meditatus sum.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.
Bonum mihi quia humiliasti me, ut discam justificationes tuas.
72 The Law you have spoken is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
Bonum mihi lex oris tui, super millia auri et argenti.
73 YOD Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
Manus tuæ fecerunt me, et plasmaverunt me: da mihi intellectum, et discam mandata tua.
74 Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I have put my hope in your word.
Qui timent te videbunt me et lætabuntur, quia in verba tua supersperavi.
75 LORD, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have humbled me.
Cognovi, Domine, quia æquitas judicia tua, et in veritate tua humiliasti me.

81 KAPH. My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.
Defecit in salutare tuum anima mea, et in verbum tuum supersperavi.
82 My eyes fail for your word. I say, "When will you comfort me?"
Defecerunt oculi mei in eloquium tuum, dicentes: Quando consolaberis me?
83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I do not forget your statutes.
Quia factus sum sicut uter in pruina; justificationes tuas non sum oblitus.
84 How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?
Quot sunt dies servi tui? quando facies de persequentibus me judicium?
85 The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your Law.
Narraverunt mihi iniqui fabulationes, sed non ut lex tua.
86 All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me.
Omnia mandata tua veritas: inique persecuti sunt me, adjuva me.
87 They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I did not forsake your precepts.
Paulominus consummaverunt me in terra; ego autem non dereliqui mandata tua.
88 Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, so I will obey the statutes of your mouth.
Secundum misericordiam tuam vivifica me, et custodiam testimonia oris tui.
89 LAMED. LORD, your word is settled in heaven forever.
In æternum, Domine, verbum tuum permanet in cælo.
90 Your faithfulness is to all generations. You have established the earth, and it remains.
In generationem et generationem veritas tua; fundasti terram, et permanet.
91 Your laws remain to this day, for all things serve you.
Ordinatione tua perseverat dies, quoniam omnia serviunt tibi.
92 Unless your Law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
Nisi quod lex tua meditatio mea est, tunc forte periissem in humilitate mea.
93 I will never forget your precepts, for with them, you have revived me.
In æternum non obliviscar justificationes tuas, quia in ipsis vivificasti me.
94 I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts.
Tuus sum ego; salvum me fac: quoniam justificationes tuas exquisivi.

Servus tuus sum ego: da mihi intellectum, ut sciam testimonia tua.
126 It is time to act, LORD, for they break your Law.

149 Hear my voice according to your loving kindness. Revive me, LORD, according to your ordinances.
Vocem meam audi secundum misericordiam tuam, Domine, et secundum judicium tuum vivifica me.
